Shravan ki Sumo

So, the story begins with the scene from episode no. 72, where Shravan is sitting on the bonnet of his car, having a conversation with the moon about his love for Sumo.

As the banter between Shravan and Moon continued, Shravan couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness whenever the topic of proposing to Sumo came up. He knew deep down that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but the thought of actually expressing it to her in words made his heart race.

Sh: You find it amusing to tease me, don't you?

Moon Baba: Indeed.

Sh: It's quite evident how much you enjoy troubling me.

Moon: Shravan, you're a complete fool, you know that? Fool, meaning... well, you're head over heels for her, but you neither express your feelings nor let her speak.

Sh: Oh, come on, Moon Baba, you know how women are. But there's one thing for sure about her.

Moon: What's that?

Sh: She's different from everyone else. I mean, she was ready to jump from the roof for my trust. (excitedly)

Moon: Yeah, I saw that. But she was a little angry at that time, wasn't she? Tell me, when are you going to propose to her?

Sh: I was thinking of doing it right now and giving her a big hug.

Moon: (blushes) Hey Shravan, don't talk about such adult stuff in front of me. It makes me embarrassed.

Sh: Seriously? You're fine with giving hugs and kisses to a thousand people every day, but you can't handle this?

Moon: Well, those are different people, you know. Anyway, you guys are special. (indeed, Shraman are special)

Sh: Why do you say that?

Moon: I don't know about that. Look, if you don't propose to your girl, how will she be yours?

Sh: Hey, don't you dare take her away from me. She belongs to me.

Moon: Just so you know, if you don't propose to her, how will she be yours?

Sh: (sighs) Moon, you don't understand. It's not that easy.

Moon: (playfully) Oh come on, Shravan! You're the king of charm. Just sweep her off her feet with those killer lines of yours.

Sh: (rolling his eyes) Killer lines? Moon, this isn't a Bollywood movie. This is real life, and Sumo is... well, she's Sumo.

Moon: (nodding knowingly) Ah, I see. Sumo, the one and only.

Sh: Exactly. She's unlike anyone I've ever met before. She's strong, independent, and she doesn't take any nonsense from anyone.

Moon: (grinning) Sounds like a challenge, my friend.

Sh: (smirking) Challenge? More like the love of my life. And that's why I have to get this proposal just right.

Moon: (playfully nudging Shravan) Well then, what are you waiting for? Go sweep her off her feet, Romeo!

Shravan smiled at Moon's encouragement, feeling a surge of determination wash over him. He knew he had to find the perfect moment to tell Sumo exactly how he felt, and he wasn't going to let anything stand in his way. With Moon's words echoing in his mind, Shravan set off to plan the most unforgettable proposal for his beloved Sumo.

Sh: Alright, forget all that. Will you listen to my poetry?

Moon: Sure, go ahead.

Sh: Pay attention now, okay?
